by using the Clip Continuous Recording function,
which will add recordings to the same clip until
the function is disabled or turned off.
This is convenient for when you do not want to
create a large number of short clips, or when you
do not want to be restricted by a maximum
number of clips.
A recording start mark is added to each point at
which you resume recording, making it easy to
search for each point.
Preparatory settings
Before starting Clip Continuous Recording, make
the necessary settings to "Clip Cont. Rec" (page
83) in the CAMERA SET menu in advance.
When you set "Setting" to "On," the Clip
Continuous Recording function is enabled, and
"CONT" appears on the screen (page 16).
You can also assign "Clip Cont. Rec" to an
assignable button (page 49), and set "Setting" to
"On"/"Off" by pressing the button.
Notes
• Clip Continuous Recording cannot be set to "On"
simultaneously with Picture Cache Recording, Interval
Recording, Frame Recording, or Slow & Quick
Motion. When you set Clip Continuous Recording to
"On," these other functions are forcibly set to "Off."
• Clip Continuous Recording cannot be used while
recording.
• This function cannot be used with FAT.
Performing Clip Continuous Recording
When the preparatory settings are completed, you
can start recording.
Press the REC START/STOP button.
When recording starts, the "CONT" indication on
the screen changes to "zREC" (with z in red).
Notes
• If you remove the SxS memory card or the battery
while recording or standing by to record (the "CONT"
indication appears), the SxS memory card must be
restored. Only remove the SxS memory card after Clip
Continuous Recording is complete. If "CONT" is
flashing (1 time per second), you can remove the SxS
memory card.
• Record for at least 2 seconds before you stop
recording.
To disable Clip Continuous Recording mode
While standing by to record, set "Setting" in
"Clip Cont. Rec" (page 83) in the CAMERA SET
menu to "Off."
Restricted Operations
If you perform any of the following operations
while recording or standing by to record, 1
continuous clip will not be created. The next time
you start recording, a new clip will be created.
• Performing clip operations (locking, deleting,
or changing the names of clips).
• Switching the memory card slot.
• Changing the recording format.
• Setting the power switch to OFF.
• Displaying the thumbnail screen.
• Playing clips.
Picture Cache Recording:
Retroactively Record
When the Picture Cache Recording function is
active, the camcorder stores the last few seconds
of video captured in the built-in cache memory to
permit you to start recording video on an SxS
memory card from a point before you press the
REC START/STOP button. The maximum
picture cache time is 15 seconds.
Notes
• Picture Cache Recording cannot be set to "On"
simultaneously with Frame Recording, Interval
Recording, Slow & Quick Motion, or Clip Continuous
Recording. When you set Picture Cache Recording to
"On," these functions are forcefully disabled.
• Picture Cache Recording mode cannot be used while
recording, or while using Recording Review or Freeze
Mix.
• Picture Cache Recording is set to "Off" when you
change any of the settings in "System" (page 102) in
the OTHERS menu.
• When Picture Cache Recording is "On," the time code
is always recorded in Free Run mode regardless of the
TC/UB SET menu settings (page 96).
Preparatory settings
Before starting Picture Cache Recording, set
"P.Cache Rec" (page 83) in the CAMERA SET
menu.
"Setting" for Picture Cache Recording can also be
set to "On"/"Off" by assigning it to an assignable
button (page 49) and using that button.
When the setting has been made, the special
recording/operation status indication block on the
screen shows "zCACHE," with z in green
(page 16).
